Versions

v2.1.0 Stable Latest
11 February 2026
Changelog
  • Refactored engine internals from a monolithic NxpStarter into focused services (AssetService, DevCompileService, HeadMetaService, MenuService, LayoutService) while keeping the public API stable.
  • Migrated PHP namespaces to Nexusplugins\NXPStarter and Nexusplugins\NXPStarter\Service across the engine and entry points.
  • Removed external SCSS vendor dependencies (src/scss/vendors) and replaced required behavior with local utilities/mixins.
  • Improved build/release pipeline: runtime-only Composer install in package, safer ZIP recreation, and exclusion of source maps/logs/dev tooling from release artifacts.
